If you are walking your dog in a public place, more than likely you will be required to have him on a leash. You should consider a dog leash as one of your first purchases to make when you get your new best friend. A quality leash should match your dogs breed, age, and size. The color of your dogs collar, harness, or coat will probably play a role in your decision also. What color really accentuates your dogs coat or other accessories? After all, you want to show off your dog just as much as getting the exercise you both need.
